Why Businesses Choose RiverView Portfolio for Company Secretarial Support
Our clients come to us for compliance – and stay with us for peace of mind. Here’s how we keep your governance tight, filings on time, and risk down – so you can get on with growth.
Why RiverView Portfolio
At RiverView Portfolio, we blend deep technical knowledge with a practical understanding of how businesses run day to day. We don’t just file forms – we anticipate what’s coming, prepare the paperwork, and brief stakeholders so decisions are made on firm ground. This reduces last-minute scrambles, missed deadlines, and costly oversights.
- Proactive approach: we track legislation and Companies House changes so you’re never caught out.
- Transparent communication: clear, plain-English updates and next steps.
- Attention to detail: in governance, small errors can create big problems – we prevent both.
- Long-term partnership: continuity, context, and consistency as your company evolves.
Outcome: your records are clean, filings are on time, and your board has confidence in the paperwork behind every decision.
What we handle
Our company secretarial service covers the full governance lifecycle – from incorporation to complex share events. Typical work includes:
- Statutory registers (members, directors, PSC, charges) – set-up, maintenance, and audits.
- Confirmation statements, director/officer appointments and resignations, registered office changes.
- Board minutes and written resolutions; AGM support and record-keeping.
- Share issues, transfers, sub-divisions, buy-backs; multi-class and growth share frameworks.
- Articles review, shareholder agreements alignment, and Companies House filings.
- Health checks to bring historic records up to date and fix legacy gaps.
Whether you’re a newly formed company or a mature group with multiple entities, we keep the governance sensible, documented, and defensible.
How we work
1) Discovery & health check
We review your current registers, filings and constitutional documents, highlight risks, and agree priorities. If anything’s missing, we fix it first.
2) Controls & calendar
You get a clear compliance calendar, named points of contact, and a simple request process for changes (e.g. new director, share issue, address update).
3) Ongoing oversight
We monitor deadlines, prepare minutes and filings, and keep stakeholders aligned. You’ll know what’s due, when it’s due, and what we need from you.
The result is less admin on your desk and fewer risks lurking in your records.
The cost of getting it wrong
Governance mistakes don’t always bite immediately – but when they do, they’re expensive. Incorrect cap tables slow investment and exits. Missing minutes weaken legal positions. Late filings trigger penalties and red flags. Our job is to stop those problems before they start.
When to use our CoSec team
- Forming a company – get your structure and registers right from day one.
- Adding/removing directors – update records and file correctly.
- Issuing or transferring shares – align minutes, SH forms, and articles.
- Preparing for funding or exit – clean registers, tighten documentation, remove roadblocks.
- Recovering from backlog – we’ll bring everything up to date and keep it there.
Focus on growth — we’ll handle the governance.
